    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone please suggest the best approach when preparing multiple exams?

    Do you alternate days until the final review or how do you plan?

    Planning to give FR and AA in September – is it a good combo?

    Thank you

    There is a sticky post at the top of this forum “Movement to Sep 20 Exams – How to best study for this longer period of time?”

    And ACCA has also set up a Covid19 “hub” of resources for students here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/cam/coronavirus/students.html

    And yes I consider FR/AA to be a good combination – it balances an exam with numbers with one which is almostly entirely non-computational and studying FR alongside AA should revise FA/F3 topics which are assumed knowledge that underpins an audit of financial statements.

    Hi Kim,

    This is very useful feedback. Thank you!

    Do you by any chance have a plan to suggest when simultaneously studying FR and AA?

    I was thinking to equally split the time between the two on a weekly basis, however, I’m wondering now whether studying one paper at the time might be a better approach.

    It would be great to hear your thoughts.

    Much appreciated,

    Andrea
